Girls, Glorious Girls!

I *still* haven’t posted about my girl-trip to Chicago! I think it wasn’t just because I’ve been so busy, but that I was actually a little bit intimidated. It might not make sense, but I felt such pressure to capture what an amazing time I had that it was just too hard. Every time I thought of writing, I would shrug it off because I thought it would take me forever to figure out how to actually put it into words. And now, finally, I’m realizing that at least *something* is better than nothing!

So, over Memorial Day weekend I took a long weekend with four of my best-est girls from high school. It was an amazing trip. First, I absolutely LOVE Chi-town. And of course, we did the usual sight seeing things: saw a hilarious Second City show, walked the Magnificent Mile, went to Millennium Park with the fun “bean” sculpture, perused the Art Institute, strolled on the Navy Pier, took a skyline tour by boat, and even drank champagne on the 96th floor of the Hancock building while admiring the twinkling lights of Chicago at night… and much more! But really, what meant so much more to me was spending the time with my home-girls. Never before had we taken a vacation together, with *just* us. It’s the little moments that I’ll remember… brushing our teeth, chewing green apple gum, taking the train back to the airport with all our luggage, and maybe just a few that I can’t post about here for fear of my life (drunk prom dates are the best!). And, yes, of course, there were a few big moments too…

Anyway, my point, I guess, is that I just loved it and can’t wait to do it again! It makes me think about how I love getting to the age where I can really look at all the different relationships I have in my life and figure out what it is that I love about all of them… each, individually. I feel so blessed.
